playing their best ball of the day in a semifinal sweep of sutton but the sdss outfit couldnt get untracked against new- market according to coach sheila coleman the girls played well all day and they probably played the best theyve played all season against sutton in the semis said coleman but playing on the full court in the finals in front of the home crowd made them get a little uptight i think

langstaff hs the junior spartans battled all day long they needed three games to defeat both the host team and cardinal carter in the prelim inaries the sdss unit also pre vailed over newmarket in a

the top two teams in each region advance to dyssaa hakonson applies for junior b hockey franchise application has been made for a junior b hockey franchise for stouffville ed hakonson told the tribune friday that he arid at least two other stouffville area interests have put together the required financial package for the team which would commence opera tions in the 199394 season the group must now await the decision of the ontario hockey association oha as to whether to admit stouffville into the central junior b hock ey league that decision will probably be made at a meeting march 14 to discuss the proposed realign ment of the central league hakonson who operates choko design in stouffville has been looking into bringing either a junior b or junior c club to town for the past six irionths during that time he consulted with local business interests and individuals as well as with officials of the whitchurch- stouffville minor hockey asso ciation the next step should the oha accept the application would be to line up ice time said hakonson it depends upon whether we can work out an agreement with an arena in the area he said adding there were several other possibilities if the rec cen tre were not available oha president brent ladds said in a telephone conversation with hakonson friday that stouffvilles acceptance would stouffville skaters pass their tests four stouffville figure skating club members passed their canadian federation of skating association cfsa tests wednesday at the markham arena t jennifer selwyn earned a pass in blues leslie penny succeed ed in kilian jennifer mcleod advanced in paso and leeanna hamilton passed starhght all four passes were at the senior silver dances level depend partly upon the per ceived effect of the new fran chise on the junior hockey pro gram in the general area the possibility that the oha may merge with the metro cen tral junior b league could also affect the decision he added theyve got to consider the financial impact on the rest of the league and how many teams there are versus the play ers available in the general area said ladds and if the metro junior b hockey league affiliates with the oha it would reduce the chances whereas if theyjdont affiliate it would make the chances better ladds said it is more difficult to obtain a junior b franchise than a junior c franchise how ever hakonson said his group of backers had been put togeth er strictly on the basis of a junior b franchise coming to town while other backers were still being pursued hakonson said the financial package is now in order we have the financing now to run the team but were hop- ing for two or three more own ers hakonson said he has already received applications for the positions of manager and coach he said the franchise would require a year or so to scout players for the team and that it was hoped local nhlers keith acton or brad may might get involved we would have to get our scouts in place and keith acton has already offered to help oii probably in such functions as fundfaising and promotion hakonson said the team could have an affiliation with one of two existing junior a opera tions he said he was unaware of the rules as to where the team would be allowed to draw play ers from but was counting on some local talent the town of bolton has also made application for a junior b franchise for the 9394 season said hakonson please see page 10 for sports notes column pee wees on to ontario semifinals its on to the ontario semifi- nals for the markham-stouf- fyille credit union pee wee clippers
